BA7IO 160m

BA7IO Vange 160m  
Nice signal tonight  1822kHz up1


Tonight I removed the 50MHz yagi again.
I wanted to see if any DX would slip through to the north  but it did not.
The weather forecast is only storm and rain.
Many decodes 6M WSPR of OZ7IT  PA0TBR M1DUDevery day but noone else QRV at reasonable distance.
No UA9 SWL  or any other Rusian at 6m  unfortunately.
 summary   6M WSPR last 2 weeks    the first one is an Freudian misdecode..

I had  some shorts between the inv-L wire and the 7el LFA  the wind blew the wire against the beam.
I can still use the Steppir at 6m  but  have to solve the high SWR problem first. Receiving seems good.
Possible one part of cable must be replaced.
I can work it in the dark the beam is lowered on the driveway and good light.
Only the rain and storm has to pause a bit...
